20 Voucher Codes Top two voucher code affiliates by sales generated in last two years

21 The Questions you need to ask What are you looking to offer? How do you control your codes? Where do you appear on the sites? What extra coverage can you get? How can you track your code sales? What should your T&Cs say? How do you work your commissions?

22 A typical voucher code site Clear distinction between voucher codes and deals. Start and expiry dates clearly mentioned (where applicable) All voucher codes and deals clearly displayed – no use of “click to reveal all” – users only click on the code or offer if they have genuine interest All expired codes and deals “greyed out” and clearly marked so there can be no confusion between valid and expired codes

Work commissions according to your ROI
